A Note on Copyright:
This image can only(!) used in the context of this contest and the only
site that has the right to publish images is Digital Outback Photo. If
you want to use this image for any other purposes (e.g. marketing) you
can acquire a license from us.

There are no prizes for this contest as the evaluation
of the results can be too subjective.

To share experience it is not enough
just to show the results. We need precise step-by-step descriptions
of all image editing operations that had been performed. That is why
we need to limit the used tools to the ones that are available at Digital
Outback Photo (and they have to be available for PC or Mac):

Photoshop (this is the standard image editor we use)

Commercial and non commercial sharpening actions and plugins

Photo was taken with the Canon 1Ds.

Davenport Rock Resolution Test

500 pixel wide crop (from not sharpened and upsized image)

This crop was created using:

ACR 2.1 upsized to 6144x4088

upsized in PS bicubic to 8000x5323 (means 33x22" at 240 PPI)

Why this contest? The question is how much detail/sharpness can be
gained if you upsize this file that much. See also our original
resolution test.
